Using SL150 User Interfaces
Monitoring and Diagnostics 7-5
Partition
If the location is a storage slot, mailslot cell, or drive assigned to a partition, this
field identifies the partition. System reserved slots cannot be assigned to
partitions.
SCSI Address
If the location is a storage slot, mailslot cell, or drive, this field displays the SCSI
(Small Computer System Interface) address for the location. System reserved slots
do not have SCSI addresses.
Tape Type
This field identifies the tape cartridge as a Data tape, Cleaning tape, or Diag
(diagnostic) cartridge.
Media Type
This field displays Linear Tape Open (LTO) Generation, Write-Once Read Many
(WORM) status (if applicable), and storage capacity of the tape. If the library
cannot not read the tape label, this field is marked UNKNOWN.
Check Media Health Media health shows the status of the tape as good, degraded, or
f
ailed, based on information contained in standard LTO cartridge memory and
returned by Tape Alerts when the cartridge was last mounted. To update the media
health display for a given tape, proceed as follows:
1. Mount the tape on a drive (see "Move Tape Cartridges Using the Browser-Based
User Interface" on
page 6-12).
When the tape is mounted, the drive reads the LTO cartridge memory.
2. Move the tape back to its slot.
When the tape is unmounted, the drive reports any Tape Alerts to the library. The
li
brary updates the media health property.
3. View the Tapes screen to see the updated health status.
Check the Local Operator Panel
The SL150 local operator panel lets you check on library status and configuration
when you are working directly with the hardware and cannot easily use the
browser-based user interface. The local operator panel can be especially valuable when
you need to check the LED indicators on the library and its components.
In the operator panel, the Health and host connection
state indicators are again located
at the top of the every screen. If the library Health indicator shows that the library is
Degraded or Failed, click on the indicator to view details.
